I have blue cross- messa, have not heard anything. Keep us posted though... I am curious

rose, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! It is scary when your mammogram comes back questionable, I know, as it has twice for me. Good luck too on getting all your work together for a January lap band surgery too. I know how anxious you are to get this going! Take care, Karen

Hey Michele, congratulations on your weight loss to date. That is terrific news. I was banded about a week before you by Dr. Deol. Did you ever get a answer to your question about a refund or partial refund ... $800.00? Just curious, because I would love to know too.

RoseWolf... Just wanted to let you know that I finally had my appt. with Dr. Krause too. I really enjoyed him. He listened to me and gave me some good pointers to keep in mind that I hadn't thought of. I will see him again in 6 weeks. Also, his office staff was wonderful too. I had no problems either and would recomend him. I asked him if he had plans on leaving anytime soon, he just laughed and said that was a question he was getting a lot. Karen

Michele, check out what Rosewolf had to say about him... another thread in the MI section. She seemed to really like him. I have my first appointment with him since Dr. Deol has left, next Monday. Let us know how your appointment goes and how you like him.

If anyone is going to the "after care" support meeting tomorrow night at Dr. Deol's office, can you post what went on? I can't make it because I have to work ( parent / teacher conferences), but I will be curious if they have more meeting scheduled for after the new year and are they going to start collecting for this too? Thanks, karen

Rose Wolf, let me know how your appointment goes next week. I have one with him the Monday after Thanksgiving for my consult/ transition from Dr. Deol. I am curious to hear about him.

I think you are right April, we did talk about a whole year of meetings. I am feeling like I am getting ripped off because I paid the $800.00 in July for a years worths of support group meetings and now it might only be until Feb. or March. Also, at the last meeting did she mention something about if it was going to go longer for us to put money "in" for it to continue? If anything I feel like those of us who just paid the money should get some sort of a refund. The only reason I knew the meeting was going to be at Dr. Deol's office this last time was because I had called just a day or two prior to the meeting to confirm and Patriza told me it was at the office like normal... otherwise I would have been at the Troy Comm. Center too.

Thanks, I was in towards the end of last month and picked up my records. Did Debbie find another job? Last I heard from her, she was in limbo waiting like the rest of us.

Has anyone heard if another doctor is taking over her practice? Last I heard they were still talking about it. Rosewolf, I feel for you. I can't even imagine how devastating it must be for you to come so close. Don't give up now, you are right there... it will get done. As for me, the two doctors on the east side are just too far for me to go right now. I have an appointment with Dr. Krausse in November. I read some good posts about him from another website. And, Bess, the gal in his office was very nice to me on the phone. I had read where others complained about his office staff. The other thing I liked about him was he was at Beaumont. At least if there is an emergency, I know I can go there and it is fairly close. Chicago is always an option, and of course she has invited all her patients out there, but if the east side it too far for me, so is Chicago... but, one never knows. Good luck with whom ever you choose!
